Take my breath away

People are walking in and out of my sight, unrecognized
Because I lay my eyes on you, and watching you smile took my
breath away
And then I heard you laugh as you tossed your head back,
Your sweet voice caresses my ear,
The perfect background music for the mood of this near
perfect autumn Saturday
Your skin, a jet canvas of radiance, a painting of celestial
glow
And your eyes held the glimpse of the hope of a brighter
tomorrow,
Your beauty so immaculate it could only have been fathomed
in the heavens,
A divine work of art, reason to believe he rested on the
seventh
So it’s only rational that it took all in me to stay on me
feet as you got closer because you take my breath away,
Near perfect….? No, a perfect autumn Saturday, because you
are talking to me and you hold my hand,
And all my defenses are down and I am weak, yours to conquer
and yet it feels grand,
And as if you were sent to answer all my prayers, you asked
me to dance,
And I have to dig deep and beyond me to move along with you
because you take my breath away,
To think something as insignificant as a dance is all a part
of the master plan guided by His Divine Hand,
with all elements of the universe, from the largest
celestial bodies to the smallest molecules, and quintessence working as one just
so we can move together in urbane sync,
Because this moment, in and of itself, is the reason the
earth revolves,
The reason I am alive, or at the very least, my immediate
resolve,
Now I am bargaining with father time for a change in the
here and now,
Praying that he heeds my request for an exchange for a
little less of the future for a little more of the now,
But alas, it was time to part and I could feel my soul sigh,
my heart asked why and my body did not want to say bye,
Letting you go was a motion my arms didn’t want go through,
so my lips approached you…….
As you pulled yourself away, I didn’t only let you go, cause
you took away a part of me,
And it took everything in me to hold back all 850 muscles
from following after you as you disappeared from sight.
I woke up this morning with the lingering feeling of your
kiss on my lips, and now I am wishing you were still here cause you take my
breath away
But at least now I can breathe and as I exhale,
I pray the wind will carry my thoughts so when you feel the
breeze that sends a chill through you....
you know its me saying…...
I miss u.
